Ard-Orynys

Miremonth, 2, 506

Created by

This is a heavily Celtic/Germanic/Greek inspired world with their real languages added into the lore of this world. There are other ancient civilizations that have helped me to create this world, but for now we shall focus on the land where this story takes place, in the semi-peninsula of Ard-Orynys. These lands are known as the Highlands, the name of Ard-Orynys comes from two celtic based words, ard (Irish Gaelic) meaning "high" and orynys (Welsh) meaning "peninsula", thus the term "highlands". The entire map itself is based on the ancient coastlines of the British Isles when it was attached to Europe.   These names and places are made up of several nations, but the most powerful one stretches beyond the map itself, is known as Shermania, and it is the country that we shall be focusing on in this particular story. Shermania is a nation that owns nearly all the mountains of the entire continent, reason being is this kingdom once conquered the whole mainland and beyond, afterward the first king Sherman released all the lowlands into independence, but discouraged the people from waging war with one another. This nation will be the table that the plot rests upon.   The rest of the nation will be given some fine detail in depth, therefore, it is for this reason that I have chosen to use World Anvil to assist me in this journey.
